Dart Mathematics: Using Paper, Nerfs, Graphing Calculators, and SMART Boards

Kathleen Cage Mittag, Sharon Taylor

Research output: Contribution to conferencePresentation

Abstract

Discover the math of playing darts with Nerf boards and technology simulations. We will look at the concepts of geometric area for squares, circles, and sectors as well as geometric probability. We'll use random numbers to locate dart hits on a coordinate plane and calculate experimental and theoretical probabilities.
